How good are the ideas?

Bad, please rethink these.
Eh... not that good...
So-so
Getting better
Been waiting for someone to post these.
YEAH GOOD IDEAS
I don't know/won't share my opinion.

Author Topic: Assorted Ideas concerning the Versions of Blockland v17-18.  (Read 1276 times)

{{PLEASE DON'T FLAME BASED ON MY IDEAS.}} Nobody likes a troll, just look and comment with tips and problems instead of trolling and insults.


1. Brick2Vehicle
Mesh grouping of bricks and a special 'mount point'/'vehicle settings' brick to create a vehicle.
This could use a 'vehicle build zone' basebrick... Useful for the vehicles you want but don't have and can't make. (Yes, i know it might lag, it involves moving all the bricks at once doesn't it, so the basebrick size should be small)

2. Antispam brick count reducer
A tool that combines smaller bricks into larger ones that exist. In the shape of an actual TOOL you use on the baseplate or the brick itself, not an auto-server-sweeper.
Ex. :   [] is 1x1  (A) is AxA
[][]
[][]   -(ABCR)>   (2)

[][][][]
[][][][]
[][][][]     -(ABCR)>  (4)
[][][][]

3. LineFX drawer
A tool that allows lines to be drawn on the surface of bricks (like grafitti ;3). Useful for castles that normally require hundreds, sometimes thousands, of 2x4's to be detailed.

4. New FX(listed below)
RainbowNoSwirl(Has no lines moving across, instead the whole brick shifts through the colors of the rainbow. Alternate name RGBFX)
Saturation(Add saturation to the brick's color.)
Brightness(Add brightness to the brick's color. Different from Glow as it doesn't glow in the dark.)
LessSat(Remove saturation.)
LessBright(Remove brightness.)
Ghost(Makes the brick appear as a ghost brick. Alternate name Hologram.)
Spin(PRINT BRICK ONLY - makes the texture on the brick spin slowly.)
Invert(Inverts the colors on the brick. I know this may seem like you can just choose the opposite color, but it also inverts the colors of the 'studs' on the top and bottom, making it look cool.)
Distortion(Like Undulo, only with ripples coming from the center of the brick.)
WaterFX(Please add this to FX menu.)

5. Initial color randomizer
Chooses a different color every time you join a server for the color of your bricks after you spawn.
(Just so red isn't considered a newbie color... what's wrong with red?)

6. Save permission mod
A mod that allows you to lock saving to everyone except certain players definable in a GUI. Useful for important things you don't want stolen.

7. More server statuses and levels(below with permissions, just incase a host gets a little picky about who does what. Admin status levels changeable in server settings maybe?)
NoAdm(already there, just here for comparison purposes)
MiniModerator(Cannot ban, edit settings, unban, clear bricks, admin wand or fetch, can kick/spy/find/warp)
Moderator(Cannot ban over 60mins, edit settings, unban or clear bricks, can kick/ban 1-60mins/spy/find/fetch/warp/adminwand)
Admin(already there, just here for comparison purposes, but should remove ability to ban over 5 days)
SAdmin(already there, just here for comparison purposes, but should remove ability to ban over 10 days and add ability to appoint all levels below it but not at its level and deadmin moderators)
CoHost(Should be able to : Ban perma, kick, fetch, find, warp, clear bricks, clear all bricks, spy, admin wand, appoint all levels below it, deadmin all levels below it, edit settings, edit prefs, get Host status when host is AFK for more than a day or another predefined level and go back to CoHost when host is back, and have limited access to console/mission editor.)
Host(Here for comparison purposes.)

Statuses (constant emotes in most cases that are operated by a GUI or saying it in chat. Just to add more purpose to memes and 1337speak as indicated below ;3)
AFK(Makes the player have a keyboard in space icon above their head.)
BRB(Makes the player have a running person icon above their head.)
Back(Makes the icon disappear and be replaced by a 'BAX!' symbol for 3 seconds.
GTG(Shortcut for disconnect, disconnects after 5-25 seconds[definable in options])
CYA(same as GTG)
What?(Auto-runs the WTF emote)
GAH[or a variant] (Auto-runs the Alarm emote)
No[or a variant] (Auto-runs the Hate emote)
Yes[or a variant] (Auto-runs the Love emote)
LOL[or variant] (Makes a laughing face above player's head)
Memes[any kind] (Makes a picture related to the meme appear above player's head - inappropriate ones can be turned off along with swear filter)
I think you get the idea.

8. Mesh glitch fixes
So annoying when a noob uses the corner of a wall mesh glitch to get out of an arena... don't you wish that was fixed?
And it's also so annoying when some other noob drives a vehicle straight into your locked build using that other mesh glitch. That needs to be repaired. Maybe when a vehicle collides with a wall but doesn't stop launch it the other way?

9. More player customization
In avatar options there should be a way to incorporate more things like hats, bodies, hand types, foot types, backpacks, ETC. Please make a way to use user-created add-ons containing these(maybe Add-Ons/BodyParts/User?).

EDIT STARTS HERE---
Okay, got another one from that sixshooter file thing below.
10. File Transfer GUI
A GUI usable inserver or on main menu that allows players to exchange add-ons they don't have but they want/need. Who knows, it might be useful.

This wasn't worth posting for the simple fact that almost all of these are impossible, mega lag fests, or not worth using.

Please look and think before you post.

NINJA EDIT : Did you even read all of it?
SUPER NINJA DOUBLE EDIT : Hey, the FX thing is sorta cool, you gotta admit... INVERTED BRICK COLOR.

-snip-

I've read before that was impossible. Not a lag fest.

And you have to read before you post, if you look back you see the key word ALMOST.

Not so, as it would work(although a bit laggier than) the same way as creeper mod.
Laggier because it has to delete all the bricks that move, move the player the same distance, AND get all the brick types so it knows how to move them.

Uh...the creeper mod randomly spreads across bricks..how can you even compare that to something that would be so amazingly complex?

It would need to literally make it's own model, which blockland can't do. Bricks are on a grid so there is no way possible to make them actually work like a vehicle.

Holy stuff! All of these is very good ideas!

I wish that all of these be in Blockland  :panda:

I like antispam brick idea the best

6 I requested once but eveyone said impossible but I am a scripter and unlike the people that say impossible I think 6 is possible and probably most of them for some engine change

Ohai Cc.

Don't worry Invisible, I support these, especially the anti-spam brick and the new FX.
